I deprodded it, but I think it should come here. An Indian academic with a significant leadership position, but not significant enough to meet WP:PROF on that basis alone. A very high number of peer-reviewed papers for the subject, 117, according to Scopus), but none of them especially significant. (highest citation counts, 41, 40, 37, 23, 20)  h=10. We've had a number of AfD  discussions of people with similar records,and I think the results have not been consistent. Sometimes the result depends on what people here think of the work, but this isn't a field where I can judge.     DGG ( talk ) 19:11, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. Cites a little low for this topic. May be an article created too early. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:27, 27 January 2010 (UTC).
 * Delete. His citation record is not bad but it is not strong enough to meet WP:PROF #1, and his administrative position is high but not quite high enough to meet #6. Notability is the max of one's individual accomplishments, not the sum. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:50, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
